What to Expect When You're NOT Expecting

We all know the famous book "What to Expect When You're Expecting", but what about when you're NOT expecting. We weren't expecting to have a hard time starting our family or to have 3 miscarriages over a 12 month period. And we definitely weren't expecting...after all the disappointment....to have a smooth 4th pregnancy and welcome a baby boy to our family in 2008 and a 2nd in 2010. But those are a change in expectations that we are finally happy with.

Gray's Anatomy

What a morning!!! I woke up at 5 a.m. bright eyed and ready to start the day to find out if Lefty is a he or a she. After an eternity of looking at all of Lefty's other parts, the technician finally got to the good stuff. First we saw the little legs, crossed at the ankle all cute, and I thought "maybe I'm wrong, maybe it is a girl since it's sittle all proper and pretty"

But then, the tech moved down a bit, and it was quite obvious that...

Lefty is a boy! This is the bum shot from underneath, and as you can see the little guy has definite male anatomy parts.

So I now introduce to you Grayson David W - expected to join us on June 10, 2008. His nickname will most likely be "Gray", thus the blog title. (Thanks Matt for the help on that one.

I'm so happy to have this appointment behind us and to start calling our baby a real name. Now Grayson, we have much to do before you get here so keep on cooking and we'll see you in June!
